That sounds exactly what I've been looking for :)

Btw, all this talk got me to look at getting DVB, so who knows... But then
again, I watch very little TV, and what I do watch, I have a tendency to
miss. Thus, the need for a VDR since it's alot more flexible than a normal
VCR.

Btw, is DVB free in germany? And how does it work with companies that give
you smartcards to put into the receiver?
